Ritsuka Uenoyama is bored with it all—with school, with his basketball club, and even with his one true passion: playing guitar. That is, until the day he finds his favorite hidden napping spot occupied by a strange boy cradling a broken-stringed guitar. At first, Uenoyama is nonplussed by Mafuyu Sato and his slightly odd behavior, but when, on a whim, he asks Mafuyu to sing, the power of that song pierces him to the core.

Since they were kids, Takeo has looked after his next-door neighbor Wako. Though they are the same age, Wako was very sensitive to the cold and would often fall so sick he had to miss school, days at a time. But now, Wako is stronger than before, perhaps thanks to Takeo's incessant care... or perhaps because Wako has been fighting a silent battle every single day... Being next door neighbors with the love of your life, having them sneak into your room at night and sleep in your bed, walking to school together every day, and watching them date others while having to support them would make anybody stronger... Wako wants to stay by Takeo's side for as long as possible. He doesn't mind if Takeo finds a girlfriend and has mentally prepared himself for when Takeo finds a wife. But Wako's world flips upside down when Takeo says something unexpected like, "I could go for a guy, too."

A collection of intertwining stories covering four not-quite lovers as they find what links them together.

Akiba plays the piano and reminisces about Yahiko, a friend with benefits he can't quite bring himself to call his lover, despite how freely the man cares for him.

Despite their constant bickering, Sado and Nakajo appear close enough to be lovers. But Nakajo has convinced himself he can never have Sado, which leads him to stay by his side while simultaneously looking for ways to hate him.

Shibata is an overly friendly older man who rather insistently hits on Sekiya, a socially awkward radio DJ. Even with his radio DJ persona, Sekiya has a hard time expressing the roil of emotions within him.

Kameda and Ogikawa get to know each other thanks to a stray cat. The two spend lazy days together, eating, drinking, and playing with their cat, all without calling it love.
